Roo protestors digging up the bodies

Jeez, they really know how to kill off any sympathy to a cause.

I wonder if crappicker dug up her new favourite posterboy?

Not all of them do. Only those who were completely and irrevocably bonkers in the first place.

That is taking dumpster diving to a whole knew level.

Skip diving, surely.

I do like the term ‘kangaroo burial site’ though, sounds vaguely like the kangaroos conduct their own services there. Next door to the elephants’ graveyard.

LOL!

Protestors, beware of the curse of Rootankhamun!

I do believe that it is an offence to interfere with a corpse.

OMG people – get a life!!!!

We could always bury the protestors in the same spot?

Goddamn freegans

The protesters are innocent; clearly the Zombaroo Apocalypse has begun.

How, even in a crazy protestor’s logic, was this a good idea?

Someone get these people a PR manager asap.

A slap and admonishment to wake up to themselves perhaps?

Well, ideally. But I’ll never understand why people who want to convince the general public of a point of view go out of their way to make themselves look as bonkers as possible and therefore taint their cause in the eyes of the people they’re trying to convince. Now people who may have been sympathetic to the protestors just see them as nutcases who dig up dead animals, and people who’ve disagreed with them all along get to smugly say “I told you so!” to everyone else.

I couldn’t give a toss about the actual issue (culls in Canberra? Please, exponentially more roos are shot out west all the time and no-one cares) but failing to consider how one’s actions negatively affect one’s cause always bemuses me.

Who are these people?!

One wonders, if given a number of other recent posts about the cull we will start seeing “decapitated” and “mutilated” kangaroo corpses suddenly appearing around the ACT with associated ‘moral panic’ posts then appearing on the Riotact? Let the astroturfing begin! Oh…… and wont somebody think of the children?
